I think it’s sinful that Mdkabir Howlader is trying to open a slaughterhouse at 614 Broadway.I also think that the halal and kosher method of slaughter is very cruel.This is the great USA not your home town. Mdkabir wants to murder animals for the Muslim holidays. If that is the way Muslims celebrates their holidays with blood on their hands then it’s time you people go back where you came from. The USA don’t need a religion like that here. We are trying to end animal abuse and encourage people to be vegetarians. When in Rome, do what the Romans do. You are in the USA not your home town. Stop killing animals or go back to where you came from. We don’t want animal abusers here.
